KEYNOTE: How Is Equity Online Different From Equity on the Ground?

David E. Kirkland, Executive Director of the Metropolitan Center for Research on Equity and the Transformation of Schools, New York University

One of the missions of culturally responsive-sustaining remote education is that students and teachers become aware of, study, and challenge inequities, as both outgrowths of remote education and features of it. Culturally responsive- sustaining remote education promotes sociopolitical and health agency for students and their families but is also exciting and joyful for students who are seen and loved and therefore can take ownership for their learning.
